The Value of Children to Parents in the United States

Hoffman, Lois Wladis; And Others

Journal of Population, 1, 2, 91-131, 78

Data from a national survey of the value of children to parents were analyzed. Groups with less access to economic resources gave more importance to economic-utility values; women with traditional sex-roles gave more importance to adult status, urban residents gave more importance to purpose in life.
